Firefox Portable

Launching Firefox 2nd Profile, it uses the same profile folder as the 1st profile. Now I can't have multiple Firefox using different profiles.

Hello,
I wonder if it is possible to use environment variables in path name in the FirefoxPortable.ini file, for instance %username%, %appdata%.
There are several profiles on the family PC and I would like to save each profile datas in the specific %appdata% directory.

I tried to set the "ProfileDirectory=" in the FirefoxPortable.ini file that way :
ProfileDirectory=..\..\..\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\FFdirectoryName\Data\profile
... but it didn't work.

I have previously use a policy file in a Distribution folder in the Profile folder to stop the splashscreen displaying. this no longer seem s to work in 132. Ihave also inserted DisableSplashScreen=true into various ini files without success.
How do you remove it?

After updating to version 132.0 the navigation bar icons reset and swap positions seemingly randomly each time the browser is started. Unsure if it is an issue specific to beta 1 but after installing the full non-portable version to compare, which is currently on 132.0 beta 5 the issue is not happening there. OS is Windows 10 x64.

Could we please not abandon Firefox 115 ESR?

New version Firefox 115.16.0 ESR was just released today, and updates will officially continue well into 2025, with Mozilla saying they may be open to go further than 2025, given that hundreds of millions of machines are still using Windows 7/8, and they will obviously never get updated, since they don't have hardware requirements for Windows 11, and Windows 10 End of Life will be in 2025.

So kindly reconsider abandoning Firefox 115 ESR for Win 7/8 at portableapps?

Hi..

I have a few questions about Firefox Portable:

1. Is it possible to create 100+ profiles in Firefox Portable? I read on the support page that I need to use the "Firefox Portable 2nd Profile 2.0.2 app." Can I do this without using that app, just with one Firefox?

2. When I open "about:profiles" why is the Default profile located in C:/ and not in the F:/ path (where I installed PortableApps)? If I use it on another computer, does the profile not transfer with it? And when creating a new profile, does the location need to be set manually?

Hi John,
I have recently view this post on Portable Freeware https://www.portablefreeware.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=107536#p107536.
In this post there is a workaround for enable Translation feature in Mozilla Firefox, for All Desktop releases (Standard, Beta, Nightly and ESR).
In short this workaround consist of change (enable) an internal feature that is disabled by default (this feature is currently in Beta).

I don't want FFP to prompt me all the time for updates. What needs to be changed to disable this?

The file locations and contents:

C:\ProgramData\Mozilla-xxxxxxx-xxxxxxx-xxxx-xx-xxx-xxxxxxxx\updates\FirefoxPortable\update-config.json
{"app.update.auto":false,"__DEFAULTS__":{"app.update.background.enabled":true}}

C:\ProgramData\Mozilla-xxxxxxx-xxxxxxx-xxxx-xx-xxx-xxxxxxxx\profile_count_FirefoxPortable.json
{"version":"1","profileTelemetryIds":["xxxxxxx-xxxxxxx-xxxxxxxx-xxxxxx-xxx-xxxxxx"]}

What are their purposes and how to turn them off?

Upon updating to v127.0, and upon first launch, two issues occurred:

1. First, I was prompted for a password. That's never happened before, and in my case, it shouldn't. I'm not using Sync, or Firefox's own password manager, so it was unexpected. I clicked Cancel.
